I sit down with my dad, Jud Linville, to discuss fathering three daughters with his high school sweetheart and his journey from getting a doctorate in psychology to becoming the CEO of global cards and consumer services at Citi. We also discuss his definition of happiness, his thoughts on my career move, his advice on parenthood, and answers to some of the questions you all submitted!

Follow Up Q&A:

  1. First thing you do in the morning? Coffee.  Meditate.  Gym.  (I know you are going to tell me Coffee after meditate.  Heck, I like to shake it up).

  2. What advice would you give your younger self? Take even more time asking questions.  I was always quick to go into do mode, and “follow me!”
